Found an amazing room to rehearse my band up near London Bridge - heading over there tomorrow for the weekend with some friends, a bunch of mics and A LOT of tape...

Planning to record everything on an old 4 track and hopefully borrowing this Macbook Pro too(i really want one of these i cant run protools on the ibook i bin using)

Next week i got a week off from the dental hospital - seems all i bin doin lately is having me teeth fixed - miracle really that i aint taken anyting stronger than a paracetomol cos i bin in a lot of pain...the last coupla weeks has bin bearable tho

My pal Sara's bin all over the local news on account of not employing this chick in her hair salon - the *applicant*'s muslim and is taking her to court on grounds of religious discrimination or sum bollocks..its really fucked up. Anyways there's a fundraiser in my local for Sara's court costs...



One thing we do know about in the east end is how to throw a party!



god bless

The venue's a big ol Victorian place on the Charing X rd in Soho thats bin host to many many parties/club nights ever since i can remember - if the new management are cool this'll be the start of something...special perhaps!

god bless

ok so last week i spent 3 days in the hospital(teeth). monday/tuesday all sweet - lucked out wit a student hygenist who's keen to pass her exam/needed a willin *patient* etc(and im plenty willing-its taken 8 months of persistence to get an appointment where they actually *do*something)...friday...back in to have my(last)molar extraxted..not so lucky-i arrive to find i jus missed an *incident* occuring....sounds like a raging crackhead losing it somewhere nearby on the stairwell....waiting room jammed wit people....total chaos...anyways got seen pretty quick-taken down a packed ward-partitioned into maybe 20 booths-all full, put in the chair...then moved again...this time to a booth they hadnt had chance to clean...someone elses blood in a big jar in front of me(nice)..then moved back to a different booth...whatever i missed kinda had everyone preoccupied...the student doin the extracton couldnt even anaethetise me properly(ended up squirting the local down my throat) and was in and out my mouth maybe 5 or 6 times with the pliers while we got interrupted with her signing a police statement...basically my total worst nightmare-proper horror(felt like that scene in Hellbound...*the doctor is in!!!*)

now not only do i look like a hamster and reek of clove oil but i enjoyed myself so much im back in there wit the cute hygenist on Friday

god bless

occasionally in the midst of relentless clubbing, clawing life back
from them destructive forces so much more powerful than myself, i manage to
quieten my mind long enough to see the city like i did as a child...



its taken some 5 years but i finally got my room jus how i want it. im on the creative tip proper-
all set 4 hibernation this autumn! haven't painted the walls yet but my record players hooked up and the mattress is in the right corner...



also i start college the end of this month. unfuckinbelieveable xx

I've bin writng and recording mos the time lately...got over the trashed journal thing and finally started a new one..need to get some webspace so's i can start posting music...
